You are welcome to bring up to 25 items (at a time) for us to check out. We always love looking at new things!

If we decide that your items are not suitable for resale and you don’t want them back, we’ll even take care of the hassle of donation by giving them to Hospice House. Donation slips for taxes are available upon request.

Feel free to make an appointment to come by during your lunch break and let us see what you’ve got!

Why Consign Your Clothes to Us?

Do you have unwanted or unworn clothes cluttering up your closet?

Have you changed jobs lately and have to fast track your wardrobe?

Have you just graduated or started out in a new career?

Got clothing as a gift – but it doesn’t really fit you or your lifestyle?

Or do you just want a new look – something different from your current style?

It doesn’t matter why, but if you have clothes that you’re no longer wearing, why not sell them through Clothes Encounters?

It’s so easy.

At Clothes Encounters, we sell quality women’s designer clothes on consignment: like-new, pre-owned clothing of all kinds along with designer shoes, jewelry, and accessories.

We prefer to offer consignment over a cash payout because over the years we have learned it’s the best way for you (as a seller) to get the maximum amount of money for your clothes.

So why short-change yourself just for a quick buck or two?

But we understand sometimes an easy, no hassle payment is what YOU want and so we can always cut a check for you.

“How does consignment work?”

You make an appointment to bring in your items (see our requirements below), we will go over them carefully, give you our pricing recommendation and if you accept, place them out on our sales floor.

Once your items are sold you will receive 40%of the actual selling price. You have the option of getting store credit (any time an item sells) or opt to wait for a check.

NOTE: Checks are processed once your account has at least $25 USD in it. You can drop by the store anytime during our regular hours to pick up your check at the end of the month.

“We Only Carry Items that are Clean, In Style, & In Great Condition”

We only accept gently-worn women’s clothing, shoes, accessories, and jewelry that meet our standards. We can’t guarantee acceptance of all clothing and accessories, even designer goods.

All clothing should be in the current styles (2 years or less). Each item should be cleaned, pressed and on hangers (we’ll give you the hangers back). And each piece should be in clean and in a like-new condition (No rips, stains, wrinkles, missing buttons or broken zippers and odor-free ).

Our polices might seem picky but we want our customers to have the best selection of designer clothes and accessories in the area. Not to mention, clothes in good condition will sell quickly and get the best prices!

…

“How Do You Price My Clothes?”

Based on our many years of experience with buying and selling designer clothing, we will set a price on your items that fairly reflects their value and will help them sell for us both.

…

“How Long Do You Keep Clothing on the Floor?”

Clothing is kept for 90 days (3 months) on the floor for display. There are 2 markdowns on price within that 90 day period.
